Objective This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of multi-slice spiral CT in early lung cancer and provide evidence for clinical differentiation. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 86 patients with early-stage lung cancer admitted to our hospital between March 2020 and February 2025. All patients underwent MSCT examination. Using pathological examination as the gold standard, the consistency between MSCT and the gold standard was analyzed. CT sign differences among patients with different pathological types of lung cancer were compared. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationships between CT signs and the degree of adenocarcinoma infiltration. Results MSCT examination showed positive findings in 75 cases of adenocarcinoma, with a sensitivity of 97.40%, a specificity of 88.89%, a positive predictive value of 98.68%, a negative predictive value of 80.00%, an accuracy of 96.51%, and a Kappa value of 0.823. Significant differences were found in the proportions of tumor maximum diameter > 2 cm, vacuole sign, ground-glass opacity sign, lobulation sign, spiculation sign, air bronchogram sign, pleural indentation sign, and vascular convergence sign (P<0.05), and these proportions increased progressively from carcinoma in situ to minimally invasive adenocarcinoma to invasive adenocarcinoma. Pearson correlation analysis showed that tumor maximum diameter, vacuole sign, ground-glass opacity sign, and pleural indentation sign were positively correlated with adenocarcinoma, while spiculation sign and vascular convergence sign were negatively correlated with adenocarcinoma (P<0.05). Conclusion MSCT demonstrates high diagnostic efficiency for early-stage lung adenocarcinoma and can provide a reference for early clinical evaluation.

Objective To construct and verify a risk prediction model of emergence agitation in patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer,and to screen the optimal model by using machine learning algorithm,so as to provide references for clinical formulation of a nursing risk management plan.Methods The convenience sampling method was used to retrospectively select 476 patients who underwent thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer in a tertiary hospital in Hangzhou,Zhejiang Province from January to December 2023 as a construction group.Logistic regression,decision tree,random forest and naive Bayesian model were constructed by SPSS 29.0 and R 4.3.0 software.The prediction performance of each model was compared by accuracy,precision,recall,F1 score and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve,and the optimal model was screened.From January to June 2024,204 patients in the unit were prospectively selected as the research subjects of an external validation group.The discrimination and calibration of the optimal model were evaluated by AUC value and calibration curve.Results A total of 680 patients completed the survey.All 4 models showed that multimodal analgesia,thoracic drainage tube type,pain score,tracheal intubation type,state anxiety and catheter indwelling time were the influencing factors of emergence agitation in patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer(P＜0.05).The 4 risk prediction models showed that the random forest prediction model had the best comprehensive performance.The external verification results showed that the AUC value was 0.913,and the calibration curve fitted well with the 45° ideal line.Conclusion Among the 4 risk prediction models,the random forest prediction model has the best performance,which is more suitable for the assessment of the risk of emergence agitation in patients undergoing thoracoscopic radical resection of lung cancer,and has good generalization and clinical application value.

Objective:To correlate the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6), CD40 ligand (CD40L), and soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 1 (sTREM-1) with regulatory T lymphocyte (Treg)/helper T lymphocyte 17 (Th17) in children with immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and to assess their combined diagnostic value.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted involving 80 children with ITP (ITP group) and 80 healthy children undergoing routine health screenings (control group) at Jinhua Central Hospital from February 2023 to February 2024. The levels of IL-6, CD40L, and sTREM-1, along with the Treg/Th17 ratio, were compared between the two groups and among children with different degrees of ITP severity. The correlations between IL-6, CD40L, and sTREM-1 and the severity of ITP, as well as the Treg/Th17 ratio were analyzed. Additionally, the diagnostic value of the combined tests was evaluated.Results:The levels of IL-6, CD40L, and sTREM-1 in the ITP group were (46.53 ± 8.69) ng/L, (6.51 ± 1.51), and (18.76 ± 3.72) ng/L, respectively. These values in the ITP group were significantly higher than those in the control group [(11.72 ± 1.58) ng/L, (4.31 ± 1.25), (8.07 ± 1.34) ng/L, t = 35.25, 10.04, 24.18, all P < 0.001]. The Treg/Th17 ratio in the ITP group was (1.34 ± 0.41), which was significantly lower than that in the control group [(13.56 ± 2.87), t = 37.70, P < 0.001]. In children with severe ITP, the levels of IL-6, CD40L, and sTREM-1 were (56.39 ± 11.70) ng/L, (9.62 ± 1.78), and (24.72 ± 4.81) ng/L, respectively. For those with moderate ITP, the levels were (45.41 ± 8.27) ng/L, (6.38 ± 1.40), and (17.69 ± 3.56) ng/L, respectively. In children with mild ITP, the levels were (37.04 ± 6.32) ng/L, (5.11 ± 1.32), and (14.50 ± 3.04) ng/L. The Treg/Th17 ratio in children with mild ITP was (0.95 ± 0.26), which was significantly lower than that in the moderate (1.37 ± 0.40) and severe (2.88 ± 0.56) groups. All differences were statistically significant among the three groups ( F = 23.98, 42.57, 37.15, 122.23, all P < 0.001). The levels of IL-6, CD40L, and sTREM-1 were positively correlated with the severity of ITP ( r = 0.565, 0.542, 0.538) and negatively correlated with the Treg/Th17 ratio ( r = -0.572, -0.536, -0.532), with all correlations being statistically significant (all P < 0.001). The receiver operating characteristic curve analysis indicated that the area under the curve values for the individual diagnoses of IL-6, CD40L, and sTREM-1 were 0.779, 0.750, and 0.763, respectively. In contrast, the area under the curve value for the combined diagnosis was 0.951, which was greater than that for each individual marker ( Z = 1.924, 2.137, 2.015, P = 0.037, 0.026, 0.031). Conclusions:The levels of IL-6, CD40L, and sTREM-1 in children with ITP are substantially correlated with the severity of ITP and the Treg/Th17 ratio, demonstrating notable diagnostic efficacy for ITP. Notably, the combination of IL-6, CD40L, and sTREM-1 greatly enhances diagnostic value.

Objective:To develop a formula correlating body weight and the insertion length of peripherally inserted central catheters (PICC) in very low birth weight infants (VLBWI) undergoing lower limb PICC placement, aiming to improve the success rate of one-time catheter placement.Methods:A prospective research method was adopted, 205 VLBWI patients who were hospitalized in the NICU of Shenzhen Maternal and Child Health Hospital from May 2023 to February 2024 and had indwelling PICC in the lower extremities were selected as the research subjects using the convenience sampling method. Data including gender, insertion vein, body weight on the day of catheterization, and the vertical distance from the puncture site to the first popliteal crease were collected. Pearson correlation analysis and linear regression analysis were used to construct a predictive formula for estimating the insertion length of PICC based on body weight. The Bland-Altman plot was applied to evaluate the consistency between the predicted insertion depth using the formula and the actual correct insertion length.Results:A total of 182 VLBWI were included in the study, comprising 102 male infants and 80 female infants. The catheterization sites were the right lower extremity in 166 cases and the left lower extremity in 16 cases. The body weight was (1.08 ± 0.26) kg. The vertical distance from the puncture site to the first popliteal crease was (5.58 ± 1.72) cm. The prediction formula for the length of lower extremity PICC catheterization was constructed through linear regression analysis: PICC insertion length = 8.013 + [5.194×body weight (kg)] ± vertical distance from the puncture site to the popliteal crease (cm). Consistency evaluation showed good agreement between the predicted insertion depth and the actual correct insertion length, with 95% of the measurement differences falling within the limits of agreement. The mean difference was 0.07 cm ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:The weight-based formula derived for VLBWI provides a basis for predicting the optimal insertion length of PICC in clinical practice.

Objective:To analyze changes of donor corneal endothelial cell density (ECD) and morphology from eye bank before and after keratolasty and the influencing factors.Methods:An observational case series study was performed.A total of 118 donor corneas, retrieved by the Shandong Province Eye Bank between July 2020 and June 2021 for penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) and endothelial keratoplasty (EK) were included.Among them, 99 corneas (83.90%) were used for PKP, and 19(16.10%) for EK.The basic information of donors and the results of corneal quality tests were analyzed and compared with ECD measured by endothelial microscopy one month after keratolasty.Morphological changes in endothelial cells before and after surgery were observed, and factors influencing corneal ECD and morphology were analyzed.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of Shandong Eye Hospital (No.SDSYKYY20170319).Written informed consent was obtained from each subject.Results:Among the 99 donor corneas for PKP, there were statistically significant differences in preoperative donor corneal ECD and 1-month postoperative ECD of implant among different age groups ( F=18.136, 5.936; both P<0.01), which were lower in the 31-60-year-old group and the >60-year-old group than in the 0-30-year-old group and higher in the 31-60-year-old group than in the >60-year-old group, with statistically significant differences (all P<0.01).There were statistically significant differences in the preoperative donor corneal ECD among different donor cause of death groups ( F=4.524, P<0.01), which was higher in the traumatic accident group compared to the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease group, chronic organ failure group and malignant tumor group (all P<0.01).The preoperative donor ECD in the death-tissue retrieval time ≤6 hours group was (2 577.66±284.63)cells/mm 2, which was higher than (2 372.46±399.75)cells/mm 2 in the death-tissue retrieval time >6 hours group, with a statistically significant difference ( t=2.289, P<0.05).There were statistically significant differences in 1-month postoperative ECD among the preservation-surgery time ≤3 days, 3-6 days, and >6 days groups ( F=6.201, P<0.01), with higher ECD in preservation-surgery time ≤3 days groups than in 3-6 days and >6 days groups (both P<0.01).The preoperative donor corneal ECD applied to EK was significantly higher than that applied to PKP ( t=-2.660, P<0.01).ECD at 1 month after surgery applied to PKP was significantly higher than that applied to EK ( t=4.286, P<0.01).The ECD reduction rate was 7.14% (0.01%, 17.69%) and 31.07% (22.11%, 45.86%) in PKP group and EK group, respectively, with a statistically significant difference ( Z=4.969, P<0.01).The ECD was lower in the group with dark area than in the non-dark area group before PKP, with a statistically significant difference ( t=6.789, P=0.011).There was no significant difference in ECD at 1 month after keratoplasty between the two groups ( t=0.005, P=0.945).Multivariate logistic regression model results showed that preservation-surgery time >6 days and the cause of donor death being malignant tumor were risk factors for the appearance of dark areas in donor corneal endothelium ( OR=9.038, P=0.030; OR=6.577, P=0.018). Conclusions:The older the donor, the lower the ECD.Prolonged preservation-surgery time (>6 days) is the main factor contributing to the decline in ECD after keratolasty.Compared to PKP, there is a higher endothelial cell loss after EK.The tissue preservation-surgery time >6 days and the cause of donor death being malignant tumor are the main risk factors affecting the appearance of dark areas in the donor corneal endothelium.But the presence of physiological dark areas does not significantly influence the ECD after surgery.

IgA nephropathy（IgAN）is the most common primary glomerular disease，characterized by the deposition of IgA in the glomerular mesangial area. IgAN is a progressive disease with a protracted and relapsing course. Approximately 50%~75% of adult IgAN patients experience renal function deterioration and eventually progress to end-stage kidney disease（ESKD）within 20 years after diagnosis. Among patients with onset in childhood，about 30% ultimately progress to ESKD after 20 years of long-term follow-up. In recent years，numerous studies have continuously explored important signaling pathways and key molecules in its pathogenesis. This review introduces the therapeutic advances in IgAN，aiming to provide better treatment options for clinicians.

Objective To establish a method for simultaneous determination of trace levels of microcystins,cylindrospermopsin,anatoxin,and nodularin in lake water based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(LC-MS/MS).Methods After being adjusted to alkaline conditions and mixed with six internal standards,the water samples were enriched using dual HLB and ENVI-Carb cartridges.The eluates were then evaporated under nitrogen,reconstituted,and subjected to instrumental analysis.Both water and acetonitrile containing 0.1%formic acid were used as mobile phases.An ACQUITY UPLC? BEH C18 column(150 mm×2.1 mm,1.7 μm)was selected to separate the target cyanotoxins.Multiple reaction monitoring was applied for data acquisition,and quantification was accomplished using internal standard methods.Results Within certain concentration ranges,all 14 cyanotoxins examined in the study showed good linearity,with all correlation coefficients greater than 0.998.When the water volume was 100 mL,the limits of detection and quantification for the 14 cyanotoxins were 0.1-0.9 ng/L and 0.3-2.9 ng/L,respectively,and spiked recoveries and relative standard deviations were 81.7%-132.9%and 1.2%-14.9%,respectively.In the 10 lake water samples analyzed,cylindrospermopsin,anatoxin-α,and multiple microcystins were detected.Conclusion The method developed in the study has high-throughput capacity,as well as high sensitivity,accuracy,and reliability.The method can be applied in the simultaneous detection of microcystins,cylindrospermopsin,anatoxin,and nodularin in lake water.

Objective:To explore the efficacy and its related factors of rituximab (RTX) in the treatment of children with frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome/steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome (FRNS/SDNS).Methods:It was a single-center retrospective study. The clinical data of FRNS/SDNS children first treated with RTX in the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from November 1, 2016 to September 1, 2023 were collected. The number of relapse within 1 year before and after RTX treatment, the time to first relapse after RTX treatment, and the time to B-cell reconstitution were analyzed. At the first treatment, a single dose of RTX was given at 375 mg/m 2, with a maximum dose of 500 mg, once a week, for 1 to 4 doses. The count of CD19 + lymphocytes in the peripheral blood of the children was continuously monitored. If B-cell reconstruction was performed, the decision on whether to proceed to the next course of RTX treatment was made based on clinical manifestations. Kaplan-Meier method was used to analyze relapse-free survival rate after receiving RTX. Cox proportional hazards regression model was used to analyze the related factors of relapse after RTX treatment. Results:A total of 98 FRNS/SDNS children receiving RTX treatment were enrolled, including 75 males (76.5%). The age at onset was 4.0 (1.9, 7.1) years and age of receiving RTX was 11.3 (8.5, 13.5) years. There were 90 children (91.8%) achieving complete remission, while 8 patients (8.2%) did not respond to RTX treatment, and 3 patients (3.1%) progressed to end-stage kidney disease after receiving RTX. The relapse-free survival rates at 6 months and 1 year after RTX treatment were 83.3% (75/90) and 57.9% (22/38), respectively. The frequency of relapse 1 year after RTX treatment decreased compared to 1 year before RTX treatment ( Z=-7.398, P<0.001). Compared with children without relapse during the period of B-cell depletion, relapsed children had a higher number of relapse within one year after RTX treatment ( Z=5.246, P<0.001). The time to first relapse after RTX treatment was 8.3 (4.6, 13.9) months in 51 relapse patients. Compared with children receiving 1 dose of RTX in the first course, those receiving 2 or more doses had a longer time to the first relapse ( Z=2.983, P=0.003). There was no statistically significant difference in time to the first relapse between children who received mycophenolate mofetil therapy after RTX treatment and those who didn't ( P>0.05). The reconstruction time of B cells after the first course of RTX was 6.9 (5.3, 9.0) months. Compared to children receiving one dose of RTX in the first course, those receiving two or more doses had a longer B-cell reconstitution time ( Z=2.739, P=0.006). There was no statistically significant difference in B-cell reconstitution time between children who received mycophenolate mofetil therapy after RTX treatment and those who didn't ( P>0.05). Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that recurrence after calcineurin inhibitor (CNI) treatment before RTX treatment and the number of recurrence in one year before RTX treatment were correlated factors of recurrence after RTX treatment (both P<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that recurrence after CNI treatment before RTX treatment was an independent correlated factor of relapse after RTX therapy ( HR=3.496, 95% CI 1.245-9.818, P=0.018). Infusion reactions occurred in 10 patients (10.2%) and infections were observed in 24 patients (24.5%) during B cell depletion. No serious adverse events occurred. Conclusions:RTX is well tolerated and effective in treating FRNS/SDNS. Recurrence after CNI treatment before RTX treatment may be an independent related factor of relapse after RTX treatment.
